[R-pkg-devel] package not passing automatic checks: no clue as to what is causing 2 notes

[Duncan Murdoch]

The tidy.exe program is used in some checks of help files.  The error 
messages you have say that it failed to run.  I think that was an issue 
on the CRAN machine, not an issue with your package, so I'd follow the 
instructions in the email you received from CRAN to let them know the 
rejection appears to be a false positive.

I had a look at the log file (https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/movecost_2.0_20230412_090758/Windows/00check.log) and I see two notes which I do not understand:
